Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[homerdog]

The FA are corrupt to the core and we know who's pulling the strings behind the scenes. Fuck them, PiGMOL, BBC, Sky, UEFA, rags and dippers; in fact fuck 'em all!

What the actual fuck , must be wumming

Daft comment.

It’s easy to jump on the bandwagon because of one egregious incident which gains a very high profile as it happened near the end in a game where we dropped points but as a whole his performance was ok.

As I said much earlier in this thread we shouldn’t give a ref a free pass just because we won a game, the 3-0 at OT being a perfect example of an absolutely disgraceful refereeing performance, far worse than yesterday’s, that got swept under the carpet because we won.

It’s all about balance and seeing the bigger picture, two things you clearly don’t understand

It looks like some one got on his earpiece asap “blow the fucking whistle “

It definitely looks like it. He looks to his left just before blowing his whistle.

 

[Metalartin]

And they received a full explanation and apology from all involved!!!?

And, so did we against Liverpool last week!

And if they are going to argue that was a foul, then the contact on Akanji is a stonewall pen. In fact I've a good mind to claim a foul on Ake for Spurs' equalizer, more contact there, right in the back of him too. If those are the standards some people want to set on a foul.

Noticed Gary Neville still trying to have the last say(Mike Dean should have phoned in to remind him ;) ) on the penalty at the swamp, claiming the Rodri one shouldn't have been given.

I hate how the red shirts get to control all of the narratives around City. City don't deserve any marginal decisions(not mistakes, even decisions that could have gone either way), any mistakes that do happen against them, not a big deal, should have played better, move on quickly please. To hear it from a Rag commentator is an insult really, considering the amount that shower of shite have got away with.

He’s a useless corrupt sack of shit.
There’s no excuse for that level of incompetence, regardless if you think he had a good game or not.
He didn’t btw.

Didnt klopp kick off the other v City ? The ref blow as klopp thought the dippers were about to counter attack

No it was Pochettino.

None of those excuse will cut what was at stake. Lost 2 points could be the fine margin come end of the season. We are taking about few millions . Now who is going to compensate for the loss?

As much as you want to say it, and as bad as it was, that single decision will not affect the season outcome. The result yesterday had already been affected by that point, because the biggest thing that affected the result yesterday, was some very poor defending by Doku and Gvardiol, and some shite finishing from Haaland, and Rodri. Improve either of those, and he probably doesn't make that "mistake" because he doesn't feel the need to.

 

[Pedestrian]

It wasn't "panic", it wasn't "human error", it was "making sure" of, or "affecting" the result.

Grealish might not have scored anyway, however we all know what happened was incorrect.

Earlier in the half spurs but through, and it was obvious fron even behind the goal, the players was at least 5 yards offside, to the point a couple of our players briefly stopped, the flag didn't go up until the move broke down which is the correct routine with VAR, when it's as obvious as that was, for me the flag should go up, it should only not go up when it's marginal, that one wasn't close to marginal.

Was that when Eddie made a save? I said straight away what if Eddie got injured? It will happen at some point.

Two chances refers to the opportunities you give the attacking team, as in you can’t give them it. You can still signal and employ wait and see, there’s nothing anywhere in the rules that says they can’t.

He didn’t let play through enough to ascertain whether allowing advantage to play through was the right call or not.

You seem to be deliberately missing the point that he made a decision to allow play to continue. He puts his whistle to his lips when Haaland is fouled but does not blow. Instead, Haaland gets to his feet and the referee signals advantage.

At that point, his decision has been made. No free kick, advantage played.

He cannot then go back to award the free kick, because he has already decided not to penalise the offending team.

The only way he can give the free kick is if he had not already made the decision to play an advantage.

But he had.

Have I stumbled onto RAWK?

Get a grip, there is no conspiracy the referees just make mistakes.
